I don't see how MIMEDefang could be vulnerable. All it would do with malformed MIME is to not have a 100% accurate scan, since it never tries to open the attached files (at least not by default). This could obviously leave you vulnerable if your mail client has a problem that MIMEDefang doesn't catch, but that's already the case for well-formed MIME of a new attack type. -- Jeff Rife | SPAM bait: | http://www.nabs.net/Cartoons/RhymesWithOrange/CatBed.jpg [EMAIL PROTECTED] | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | _______________________________________________ Visit http://www.mimedefang.org and http://www.canit.ca MIMEDefang mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/mailman/listinfo/mimedefang
